RomanceHistory

Premiered at the 1981 Berlin Film Festival to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Dostoyevsky’s death, the film earned Best Actor for Anatoly Solonitsyn, a frequent Tarkovsky collaborator in his penultimate role. It dramatizes a bleak 26‑day span in 1866, when the little‑known writer struggled with debt, the loss of his wife to tuberculosis, his brother’s death, the shutdown of his first journal for political reasons, and the desperate search for funds for a new venture, just before Crime and Punishment.
